Hardware and Systems Test Engineer

Job Number

R0241667

Title Hardware and Systems Test Engineer Overview The Opportunity: When Air Force personnel depend on hardware systems like radars, navigation aids, shelters, sensors, electronics, and structural elements, they expect reliability and safe operation in demanding environments. Validating that performance requires hands‑on engineering, disciplined test planning, and the ability to evaluate complex systems throughout their lifecycle. That’s why we need a Test Engineer with experience in hardware and systems testing to help assess, verify, and sustain mission‑critical Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATCALS). Responsibilities Support RDT&E efforts across system, subsystem, and component‑level testing. Develop test strategies, trace engineering requirements, and execute testing involving functional checks, component diagnostics, environmental evaluation, durability testing, and NDI or NDT assessments. Investigate anomalies, participate in failure analyses, and collaborate with government test organizations to document results and validate improvements. Qualifications 8+ years of experience performing hardware, system, or component‑level testing. Experience developing and executing hardware or system‑level test plans, procedures, and reports. Experience validating engineering requirements in lab, field, or operationally representative environments. Experience with instrumentation, diagnostics, or troubleshooting physical components. Experience supporting developmental or operational testing. Ability to assess system behavior, identify risks, and communicate technical findings clearly. Secret clearance. Bachelor’s degree in an Engineering field such as Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Manufacturing Engineering. Preferred Qualifications Experience with NDI or NDT methods such as ultrasonic, eddy‑current, X‑ray, and thermal. Experience with environmental, reliability, lifecycle, or endurance testing. Experience with prototype evaluation, qualification testing, or environmental chamber testing. Experience with ATCALS systems, avionics hardware, radars, or ground‑based navigation systems. Experience supporting structural or materials testing. Master’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field. Engineering Certifications. Compensation Salary range: $86,800.00 to $198,000.00 (annualized USD). Clearance Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
